Journey to the beginnings of the bloody days of the Haitian Revolution- with a classic tale of revenge and reclamation- reimagined with a horror twist- in The Curse of Monte Cristo! France- 1788. Edmond Dantès- a Haitian of African descent and Parisian citizen has been sentenced to a life of hell at Château d'If for treason against the Ancien Régime. Once a man of faith- Edmond believes he's been abandoned by God- and the only thing that keeps him going is his deep hatred of those who he believes have framed him. Faria- an older prisoner who becomes a mentor to Edmond- confesses- 'I am not flesh of this realm. Your lust for revenge drew me here.' Together- they escape the prison and return to Saint Domingue- where the smell of rebellion is thick in the air. Edmond- once an enslaved man himself- thought he had escaped the colonized land and his past life for good- only to return as the wealthy and mysterious Count of Monte Cristo! In pursuit of his enemies - including Mercedes- once his fiancée - he finds his careful rage growing only more reckless and ravenous. As Edmond's enemies begin to catch on to the count's true identity- and the fight for liberation from the French colonists swells to a pop- Edmond must reckon with the deal he's made with Faria. Is it any more sinister - or any different - than the pact he's made with his own inner demons?
